    Psychol Aging 23:209-15. 2008
    ..Together, these findings suggest that older adults do not display valence-based effects on affective processing at relatively automatic stages...

    ..Therefore, the present results suggest that age-related changes in these processes implemented by the VMPFC contribute to older adults' "positivity effect."..

    Department of Psychology, Boston College, McGuinn Hall, Room 512, 140 Commonwealth Ave, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467, USA
    Soc Neurosci 5:560-76. 2010
    ..These results suggest that age-related valence reversals in neural activity can exist even on tasks that require only relatively automatic processing of emotional information...
  4. ncbi Neural processing of emotional pictures and words: a comparison of young and older adults
    Christina M Leclerc
    Department of Psychology, Boston College, Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts 13126, USA
    Dev Neuropsychol 36:519-38. 2011
    ..Older adults showed a positivity effect in memory for words, but not for pictures, suggesting that their positivity effect may stem from age-related changes in medial PFC engagement during encoding...
  5. ncbi Age differences in the bases for social judgments: tests of a social expertise perspective
    Christina M Leclerc
    Department of Psychology, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina 27695 7801, USA
    Exp Aging Res 33:95-120. 2007
    ..Results of this work indicate that age differences in the use of trait-diagnostic information were moderated by factors thought to affect the accessibility of relevant knowledge structures...
  6. ncbi Aging and everyday judgments: the impact of motivational and processing resource factors
    Thomas M Hess
    Department of Psychology, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695 7650, USA
    Psychol Aging 24:735-40. 2009
    ..In both studies, there were no age differences in the use of simple versus complex processing. Increasing age was, however, associated with increasing selectivity in cognitive resource engagement...
  7. ncbi Age and experience influences on the complexity of social inferences
    Thomas M Hess
    Department of Psychology, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695 7801, USA
    Psychol Aging 20:447-59. 2005
    ..The authors argue that these age differences reflect a type of expertise based in accumulated social experience, a conclusion bolstered by an additional finding that social activity moderated age differences in social judgments...
